CI#64 Purple Posy challenge

Welcome back for another round of CI.
First up, purple is not my colour- but green certainly is, but guess what, my project ended up being mostly purple!!
The shape and lushness of the posy in the photo made me think I'd try a Christmas Ornament using the Ornament punches, and I'm happy it came together reasonably easily.

you need:

Long ornament 15 punched from DSP, 5 punched from Cardstock

Smaller ornament 15 punched from DSP, 5 punched from Cardstock

2 circles of cardstock 2" for the base of each layer

1 glitter circle 13/4" for front.

ribbon to hang and decorate.

Fold each DSP ornament in half longways, adhere 3 together and then adhere this group a cardstock ornament so you have 4 shapes glued to make one unit.

If you have a 5 point star I would use this as a guide for where to place your ornaments so that they are in an even circle when you adhere them to the base.

Arrange the ornaments and adhere to your base.

Repeat for the next layer.

I used (fought with) my hot glue gun to layer them together. ( which is why you won't see any detailed side shots!)

For a first attempt it's passable but Im sure it's easier the more you do.

You can't really see it but I did spritz the whole thing with Shimmer paint in Alcohol before I assembled them so it is a little bit sparkly.

I love the holly image from the matching stamp set and I may have gone a little off task with some Gorgeous Grape thrown in but it does give it a lift.

Although these coloured bells are not SU I do love a jingle at Christmas

I hope you are game to give this a try.

I'm glad I did.

Be sure and hop around to see what others have made using these colours. Next this week is the beautiful Julia

Don't forget we also love to be inspired by what you create with these colours, so please share a photo of your creation on our Facebook page.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz
